Back in 2003, May finished in second on the since-cancelled reality show, "Last Comic Standing." In years since, he's made a name for himself through a handful of popular comedy specials on Netflix and Comedy Central like "Ralphie May: Austin-Tatious," "Ralphie May: Too Big to Ignore" and "Ralphie May: Imperfectly Yours."

May was born in Chattanooga, Tenn. He married his ex-wife Lahna Turner in 2005 before filing for divorce in 2015. They share two children together, who they engaged in a custody battle over. TMZ reported that he was "devastated" by the split.
